Recruiting studies
- NCT07063680RecruitingPhase 3
Testing early argipressin for shock not helped by norepinephrine
This trial tests a medicine called argipressin for people in the ICU with vasoplegic shock (very low blood pressure due to widened blood vessels) that isn't improving with high doses of the usual medicine, norepinephrine. The goal is to see if adding argipressin early helps raise blood pressure and improves outcomes.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT07062744Recruiting
Swan-Ganz catheter for cardiogenic shock after heart attack
This study tests whether a special catheter (Swan-Ganz) placed in the heart's blood vessels helps doctors better manage fluids and medications for people in cardiogenic shock after a heart attack. It aims to improve blood flow to vital organs.
HanoiAges 18 years+ - NCT07043335Recruiting
Mesotherapy vs. shock wave for tennis elbow pain
This trial compares two treatments for tennis elbow: mesotherapy (injections into the skin) and shock wave therapy (sound waves). It aims to find which works better for pain that has lasted at least 6 weeks.
IstanbulAges 18–65 - NCT07027202Recruiting
Early heart unloading for severe shock after ECMO
This trial tests a possible treatment to help the heart recover faster in people who need ECMO support for severe cardiogenic shock (when the heart can't pump enough blood). The treatment involves early use of a device to reduce pressure on the heart's main pumping chamber.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18 years+ - NCT06587399Recruiting
Manual Therapy vs. Shock Waves for Shoulder Pain
This study compares two non-surgical treatments—manual therapy (hands-on techniques) and radial shock wave therapy (sound wave pulses)—to see which works better for long-lasting shoulder pain. It may be a good fit if your pain is from a common cause called impingement syndrome.
Alcalá de Henares, MadridAges 18–80 - NCT06990295Recruiting
Ultrasound spleen stimulation for sepsis shock
This trial tests if using focused ultrasound to stimulate the spleen can reduce inflammation in septic shock. It may help patients in the ICU who need strong blood pressure support.
Wuhu, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT04682483Recruiting
Cardiogenic shock registry to improve care and outcomes
This registry collects information about people who have cardiogenic shock, a serious condition where the heart cannot pump enough blood. Your participation may help doctors learn which treatments and monitoring best improve outcomes.
Weston, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06964685Recruiting
Impella heart pump in heart attack with shock
This study looks at how well the Impella CP heart pump works for people who have a severe heart attack that causes their heart to pump too weakly to keep blood flowing to their body. It's a registry that follows your care to improve best practices.
Jonesboro, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06965504Recruiting
Heart failure medications with an Impella heart pump for cardiogenic shock
This study tests whether a special heart pump (Impella 5.5) can help patients with severe heart failure (cardiogenic shock) safely start and increase their heart failure medications. The goal is to see if this approach can help the heart recover and improve outcomes.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18–80 - NCT06955936Recruiting
Blood filtering for shock after heart attack
This trial tests a new blood-filtering device called Efferon CT for people with cardiogenic shock after a heart attack. The device aims to help your body recover by cleaning harmful substances from your blood, and you might join if you are diagnosed early and don't have other serious health issues.
TomskAges 18–80 - NCT05879276RecruitingPhase 3
Early empagliflozin for shock patients after ICU start
This trial studies whether starting empagliflozin early in adults with cardiogenic shock helps people live longer and have fewer hospital returns, while also checking heart pumping and kidney function. It may help some ICU patients, but eligibility is strict and depends on kidney function and prior medication use.
Ars-LaquenexyAges 18 years+ - NCT06891131Recruiting
Blood transfusion bundle for severe bleeding after injury
This trial tests a standard set of emergency blood transfusions for people with life-threatening bleeding from a serious injury. It aims to improve survival by giving blood products quickly before reaching the hospital.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT06881927RecruitingPhase 4
Reducing anti-rejection meds in ICU for kidney transplant patients
This study tests whether quickly reducing your anti-rejection medicines during a life-threatening ICU stay can help your kidneys recover and improve your overall outcome. It is for kidney transplant recipients with septic shock or severe breathing failure.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT06475456Recruiting
Italian Pilot Study of Cardiogenic Shock Treatment
This study tracks how well people with cardiogenic shock (a life-threatening drop in blood flow after a heart attack or heart failure worsening) do when treated with modern support devices and medicines.
ChivassoAges 18–75 - NCT06225258RecruitingPhase 2
Hops compound for septic shock treatment
This trial tests whether a natural compound from hops (xanthohumol) can help people with severe septic shock. It's given early, within the first day, alongside standard intensive care.
Lublin, Lublin VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT06832436Recruiting
Atrial strain study in septic shock patients
This study looks at how well the upper chambers of the heart (atria) work during septic shock using a special heart ultrasound. It may help doctors understand how the heart is affected by severe infections.
SalouëlAges 18 years+ - NCT06808100Enrolling by invitation
Can a blood test predict organ failure in septic shock?
This trial is studying a blood marker called GDF-15 to see if it can predict which patients with septic shock might develop multiple organ failure. If you have septic shock and do not have certain other serious health conditions, you may be able to join.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT06365476Recruiting
Shockwave therapy for arm stiffness after stroke
This trial tests whether shockwave therapy (gentle sound waves) can help relax stiff wrist and finger muscles after a stroke. It is for adults who have had one stroke and have noticeable muscle tightness in their arm.
Taipei, TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06674785Recruiting
Shock wave therapy for shoulder spasticity after stroke
This trial tests if shock wave therapy can reduce shoulder stiffness caused by a stroke. It may help improve shoulder movement and daily comfort.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT04020263RecruitingPhase 3
Levosimendan early treatment vs placebo for cardiogenic shock
This study tests whether giving levosimendan early (a heart-strengthening medicine) improves outcomes compared with placebo, on top of standard inotropic support, in people with cardiogenic shock. It mainly looks at whether patients have fewer serious complications or deaths.
Strasbourg, Bas-RhinAges 18 years+ - NCT05898126Recruiting
Renin-based blood pressure guidance for ICU shock patients
This trial tests whether using a blood test called renin to guide treatment can help stabilize blood pressure in ICU patients with shock. It may help doctors choose the right medications and targets to reduce complications.
DubravaAges 18 years+ - NCT06709573RecruitingPhase 4
Early vs. late vasopressin for septic shock
This study compares giving vasopressin earlier vs. later to patients with septic shock who are already on norepinephrine. The goal is to see if adding vasopressin sooner helps improve blood pressure recovery.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06696235RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing fast vs standard kidney therapy for heart shock patients on ECMO
This trial tests whether starting kidney replacement therapy faster or at the usual time improves outcomes for people with severe heart failure (cardiogenic shock) who are on a heart-lung machine (ECMO) and develop sudden kidney injury.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06692036Enrolling by invitation
Blood filtering for septic shock
This trial tests a special blood-filtering method (adaptive blood purification) for people with septic shock caused by a severe infection. It aims to see if this treatment can help control inflammation and improve recovery in the ICU.
